Amazon.co.uk Review

An unexpected box office hit in the late summer of 2000, Bring It On is a smart, snappy teen comedy that bristles with good cheer (literally) and lively, down-to-earth characters. Sunny, happy Torrance (Kirsten Dunst) is the new leader of the Toros, the cheerleading squad of Rancho Carne, an affluent San Diego high school that has lousy football players but one hell of a cheerleading team. National champions, they're the ones who bring in the bodies to the football games with their award-winning moves and sassy grace, and they're poised to take their sixth national cheer title. Torrance's new reign as cheer queen, though, is cut short when she discovers that her snotty, duplicitous forerunner was regularly stealing routines from the East Compton Clovers, the hip-hop influenced cheerleaders of a poor inner city school, and passing them off as the original work of the Toros. Scrambling to come up with a new routine for the Toros--and do the right thing by giving the Clovers their due--Torrance butts heads with the proud and understandably wary Isis (Gabrielle Union), the leader of the Clovers, who wants nothing to do with a rich blonde white girl, but does want to get her squad to the championships. Problem is, only one team can take home the national title. Who's it gonna be? The story may be fairly predictable (who's going to win the big championship?), but director Peyton Reed and screenwriter Jessica Bendinger have fleshed out their characters with formidable strength and provided them with sharp dialogue. Dunst is a radiant comedienne, projecting warmth, determination, sincerity, and a sublime airheadedness, and Union is an impressive dancer and counterpart to Dunst, matching her admirably despite her limited onscreen time. An excellent young supporting cast rounds out the film, most notably Eliza Dushku (Faith of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Jesse Bradford (Steven Soderbergh's King of the Hill) as siblings new to Rancho Carne, who become Torrance's best friend and potential new boyfriend, respectively. All in all, a pleasantly surprising and intelligent teen movie. --Mark Englehart, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a chick flick, 3 Nov 2002
By A Customer
Bring It On is about two rival cheerleading squads, the Toros and the Clovers. Just as Torrence,(Kirsten Dunst)is elected new team captain of the 5 time national champions the Toros, she finds out that her previous captain had stolen all of their cheers from the Clovers. New recruit, rebelious Missy (Eliza Dushku) helps Torrence get things back on track. The opposition squad, the Clovers, are an inner city squad who have little money but great cheers. They are a very hip squad, using great rythm dancing and acrobatics to fight their way to the nationals. This film is funny, witty, full of confrontations and drama and a general must see. The routine of the squads are superb and the music is original. I watched it with my reluctant male friends and they loved it as much as me. For the guys, there are hilarious lines and not to mention girls in short skirts. It's a film you have to see once, then you'll be hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll find plenty of reasons to cheer for Bring It On, 28 Jul 2004
By Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I love Bring It On. I had never gotten around to watching it until I found out Eliza Dushku was in it, and I was thrilled to discover that this film delivers all kinds of great stuff, plays out on a level far above that of most "teen comedies," and (lest we not forget) features a bevy of beauties in cheerleading outfits. Personally, I think every movie should work a few cheerleaders into the script, but until that happens I have Bring It On to make the wait a little easier. I've never really been a big fan of Kirsten Dunst, but now I have figured out why: I really hadn't seen any of her movies. Dunst, as Torrance Shipman, makes a perfect head cheerleader - bright and perky, yet committed to her sport and a great human being. That's why, when she finds out that the cheers that led her Rancho Carne Toro cheerleaders to five consecutive national championships were stolen from the local inner-city East Compton Clovers squad, she is mortified. Having already learned all of their routines, her fellow cheerleaders, with the exception of the new girl in town, Missy Pantone (Eliza Dushku) don't seem to care - not until the Clovers show up at a Rancho Carne football game (if you can call what the incompetent team does out on the field football) and basically calls them out. Torrance goes to great lengths to reinvent her squad, yet her plans blow up in her face at the regional competition. Granted a spot in the nationals thanks to their previous championship, the team has three weeks to come together and "bring it" for a national championship face-off with the Clover squad.
Naturally, there is a romantic component to the film, which plays out quite well in a subtle and oftentimes comical sort of way, but the biggest impression conveyed by the film is the commitment, hard work, and dedication required to be a competitive cheerleader. Ah, who am I kidding? The biggest impression is that of Eliza Dushku absolutely burning up the screen in one of the sexiest performances of all time, but the whole "cheerleading is hard work" theme comes in second. Wait, actually the minor yet crucial role played by Wonder Years alum Lindsay Sloane (who has grown up "real good," let me tell you) is second - then it's the hard work thing. Okay - wait, Kirsten Dunst's energetic and adorable performance comes in third. But, believe me, that hard work thing does come across, though. Bring It On qualifies as a classic in my mind, and it certainly breaks new ground in terms of portraying cheerleaders in a serious and respectful fashion.

This movie doesn't even wait for the credits to roll before giving you your money's worth, as the initial scene reaches out and grabs you immediately. The movie never really slows down from there, avoiding the sort of lull that has doomed many a teen comedy in the past. Even the closing credits are great fun to watch. The DVD only adds to the bounty, featuring all kinds of special features: deleted and extended scenes, a behind-the-scenes featurette, home movies of the memorable car wash scene, wardrobe and makeup tests with Dunst and Dushku, the music video for the song As If from Blaque (whose members make up part of the Clovers squad in the movie), a director's commentary, and more. Everybody associated with this film did indeed bring it, and it shows.

4.0 out of 5 stars This movie makes you want to do several back flips and cheer, 30 Jul 2004
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Bring It On [2000] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I rented this DVD because it had past and future "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" guest stars Eliza Dushku and Claire Kramer. I knew the movie had to do with cheerleaders (duh), but as soon as I listened to what they were actually saying in that hysterical opening cheer, I knew "Bring It On" was not going to be your ordinary T&A exploitation flick. Of course, the producers apparently did not know that since it seems they all showed up with their video cameras the day they shot the car wash scene. Kirsten Dunst plays Torrance Shipman, the new head rah-rah for the Toros, who discovers that all the routines they have been using to win their National Cheerleading Championships have been stolen from another school, the East Compton Clovers, who are led by Gabrielle Union as Isis (both Dunst and Union were cheerleaders in high school). Now we just have to see which cheerleading team is really #1. Meanwhile, Torrance is accused of having "cheer-sex" with Cliff Patone (Jesse Bradford!), a new smart kid in school whose sister Missy (Eliza Dushku) joins the squad because there is no gymnastics team. But in the end it comes down to the final round at Nationals as the two squads try to out do one another in what is essentially a recruiting film for high school cheerleading.

This is a fun movie with its fairly predictable plot and total lack of pretentiousness. With the exception of Missy's big tumbling routine, everyone in the film does their own "stunts." When they do their impromptu routines for a new version of "Mickey" during the closing credits, you have to believe they had big time fun making this movie. "Bring It On" is a movie where you want to get the DVD rather than the videotape because of all the extras included. Not only are there the expected deleted/extended scenes and commentary, there are these informational tidbits that you can get to "pop-up" during the flick. Too bad you cannot get the commentary, sub-titles, and pop ups to all work! at the same time. Nothing like the joys of sensory overload, right, boys and girls? On, and in terms of the "Do Not Do This At Home" Department, it turns out that many of the stunts performed by the teams in the national competition, including all stunts more than 2 bodies high, the fly-overs, and the basket-tosses with head-over-heels rotation, are illegal at the high school level. Yep, that's Hollywood for you.
